A former top FBI official involved in the “Russiagate” probe into former President Donald Trump was sentenced on Thursday following charges of foreign conspiracy, The Washington Post reported.

Former FBI counterintelligence official Charles McGonigal pled guilty in August to aiding a Russian oligarch in exchange for secret payments, according to the Wall Street Journal. McGonigal was sentenced to approximately 4 years in federal prison and fined $40,000 in a Manhattan court, according to the Post.

“I recognize more than ever that I’ve betrayed the confidence and trust of those close to me,” McGonigal said during his sentencing, according to the Post. “For the rest of my life, I will be fighting to regain that trust.”

McGonigal was initially arrested in January for his connections to Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch who he accepted payments from to collect open-source research against a rival, according to the WSJ. McGonigal was also charged for accepting $225,000 in payments from a former Albanian intelligence officer, which he is expected to face sentencing for in February 2024, according to Reuters.

The Deep State and the Democrats were the ones working with Russians.

What role did he have in the "russiagate".probe?

And what specifically did he do that violated the law?

 

[Bray123]

That's funny.

The MAGATs have spent years pretending that Biden has done whatever Trump has been filmed saying & doing (electoral fraud, criminal fraud, doing business in China, working with Russia, going senile, lusting over females of a too-young age, grifting millions from political office, the list is endless).

Now they take it a step further and project that Democrats are projecting onto Republicans what Democrats have been doing although it's what the Republicans have been doing and projecting onto Democrats to deflect from the actions of Republicans.

Hey, you can't confuse me!

So "someone" was ALSO a criminal who was ALSO trying to profit off relationships with foreign actors.



And RussiaGuide thinks this somehow "proves something" ???

Russiagate was a nothing burger just like hunter and the Biden crime family is a nothing burger. It's all drummed up nonsense from the opposite party because they're too chickenshit to face the fact their side lost fair and square.

Why the fuck do people keep proving they’re weak minded fools by falling for the RWCJ lies and gaslighting that the Russia investigation was a "nothing burger"???



The Russia investigation WAS productive DESPITE constant OBSTRUCTION from the corrupt orange traitor, and very likely WOULD have reached a different conclusion sans that OBSTRUCTION, (The OBSTRUCTION itself SHOULD have been charged).

From the article:

“In an important but somewhat overlooked passage, the Mueller report states that in light of these “identified gaps,” in the evidence, “the Office cannot rule out the possibility that the unavailable information would shed additional light on (or cast in a new light) the events described in the report.” That is, the obstruction may have worked.”



Hope that ^ helps.

And what specifically did he do that violated the law?

Read the article:

"McGonigal was involved in the Crossfire Hurricane probe, also known as the “Russiagate” probe, into the Trump campaign in 2016. Crossfire Hurricane turned into a 22-month, $32 million investigation that ultimately found no evidence Trump colluded with Russia to swing the 2016 election in his favor.

McGonigal was also involved in a “classified defensive briefing” that was given to the attorneys of failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2015, in what was called a “clear double standard by the Department of Justice,” by Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham in 2020."

He was one of the FBI swamp rats trying to bring down Trump with the phony Crossfire Hurricane plot.

Yes, I asked you what specific role he played in that probe.

Involved could mean he made copies.

Involved how? More copies?

He was one of the FBI swamp rats trying to bring down Trump with the phony Crossfire Hurricane plot.

He worked at the FBI during the probe....for all you know, he was against it.

Ask the reporter, you demented apologist.

 

[ll74]

Ask the reporter, you demented apologist.

The "reporter" wants you to think they had a pivotal role. And people like you believe that...without questioning ....

Lots of people were involved in the probe....that doesnt equate to support for the probe or any type of narrative being pushed.

He violated sanctions by doing work that he shouldn't have done. He wasn't selling secrets.

 

[SubzeroGirl]

Blame him for everything. What they don’t realize is he is strong enough to take it.

 

[LLCox]

It's the new strategy and it extends to more than Trump.

They have adopted the method of using all the things said about them... on their opponents.

So "Trump Derangement Syndrome" has become Biden Derangement Syndrome.
Limiting free speech has become your agenda, not theirs.
The fact that Biden is visibly suffering from dementia has led to "concerns about Trump's age/cognition.

And on and on.

It's pretty obvious... but they think it's clever.

I have known trump was a criminal since the eighties. His ego runs him. He has always bought his way out until now.

Pointing out hypocrisy isn't a clever thing....it's.just bringing the obvious to the forefront.

I partially agree, but he doesn't always buy his way out. Sometimes he just ties things up for so long the other guy gives up.
But neither one is an option in the spot he's in now.

His only option now is to win the Presidency, and even then he may still not get off....

 

[LaValliere]

So the FBI head of counter-intelligence in New York in 2016 (when there were numerous leaks favorable to Trump), was taking bribes from a Russian oligarch, and thus is supposed to make the Democrats look bad?

What’s the logic here?

rightguide has a twisted idea of what "facts" and "logic" are. He is one the better pretzel makers on the Lit PB, perhaps second only to icanhelp1.

 

[SubzeroGirl]

Blaming Trump keeps the flames of passion alive.

 

[dkovic77]

Ask the reporter, you demented apologist.

Find us some actual journalists and not partisan hack theorists…

But we know those are your favorite. The only kind of stories you read.

 

[LLCox]

Just keeping pace with trumptards.

 

[Bray123]

Yes, Russia was obviously supporting the Dems when disrupting the US political system.
